| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using standard carbon steel cutting tools without proper precautions, leading to potential contamination and reduced corrosion resistance. | Utilize dedicated stainless steel cutting tools and ensure a clean work surface to prevent cross-contamination. |
| Improper welding techniques that can lead to sensitization and susceptibility to intergranular corrosion. | Employ appropriate welding procedures for 304 stainless steel, such as TIG welding with argon shielding, and maintain interpass temperatures within recommended limits. |
